Related Product Information for Cortisol elisa kit
Cortisol, also known as hydrocortisone, is a naturally occurring corticosteroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland. Cortisol secretion is regulated by the pituitary hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and typically shows a diurnal cycle with the highest levels in the early morning and lowest levels at night. Cortisol is released in response to stress and low blood-glucose concentration and it plays a key role in homeostatic maintenance. Cortisol can increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, suppress the immune system, aid in the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrates, and reduce bone and collagen formation. Abnormal cortisol production can cause a number of different problems. Excess cortisol can result in depressive disorder, certain forms of hypertension, stress and Cushing's disease, whereas insufficient cortisol can lead to nausea, diarrhea, joint pain, Addison's disease and Nelson's syndrome. In animals, cortisol is known as a stress hormone in response to physical and emotional stresses. Cortisol can be measured in blood, saliva and urine and its concentration generally ranges from 30-250ng/ml in plasma and from 10-170 ug/day in urine. The concentration of cortisol in saliva and serum is also found to be correlated. Cortisol (Serum/Urine) ELISA kit is a competitive enzyme immunoassay kit and its readout signal is inversely proportional to the cortisol concentration. The kit is simple, easy and fast to determine the cortisol concentration in different biological samples such as serum and urine. It can detect cortisol range between 5.6 and 450ng/ml within 90 minutes (LOD 2ng/ml).

Product Notes
The General Cortisol (Catalog #AAA8400564) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA8400564 ELISA Kit recognizes General Cortisol. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cortisol, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
